Student of the month: Ernestas Kukulskis

We’re pleased to name Ernestas Kukulskis as our April Student of the Month, following his fantastic results on our Fireproofing Inspection Level 2 course.

Ernestas came to inspection with several years of experience as a painter and a clear focus on quality. Over time, he has built on that practical background by completing his ICorr Level 1 and ICorr Level 2 Coating Inspection courses with us, before going on to add Fireproofing Inspection Level 2 to his skillset.

His progress shows what can be achieved when industry experience is combined with the right training and support.

For Ernestas, moving into inspection was a natural next step. Having worked hands-on in the coatings industry, he already understood the importance of getting the job right. Training with Corrodere Academy gave him the flexibility to study around work while gaining the knowledge needed to move forward in his career.

“I’ve been working as a painter for several years and always had a strong focus on quality, so moving into inspection felt like the right step for me. I trained through Corrodere Academy, which really suited me as I could study around work at my own pace.

I completed ICorr Level 1 and Level 2, and even with my experience, there was still a lot to learn. The support from the team was excellent – always quick, friendly, and helpful whenever I needed it.

After finishing the courses, I started working as a Paint Inspector on a contract basis, which was exactly what I was aiming for. I’ve since added Fireproofing Coating Inspection to my skills and I’m keen to keep developing. I’m really glad I took the step.”

Congratulations, Ernestas!
